Album lore

Homespun, issued in October 2020 via Berlin’s Tartelet Records, finds Glenn Astro navigating the interstices of lo-fi and jazz house with an instrumental palette that oscillates between warm vinyl crackle and crystalline synth lines. The eleven tracks, including the title cut "Homespun," weave subtle rhythmic grooves and brushed percussion, conjuring a sound both intimate and urbane. The record’s lean toward nu jazz inflections is evident in its melodic contours and layered textures, which recall the lineage of European electronic jazz experiments while retaining a distinctly modern house sensibility.Astro’s work here is less about overt dancefloor moments and more a study in restrained elegance, where each track unfolds with a patient, almost tactile quality. The album’s resonance is underscored by its modest but dedicated listenership, as reflected in its Last.fm presence, marking it as a discreet artifact for those attuned to the quieter corners of electronic jazz fusion. Homespun stands as a quietly assured entry in the ongoing dialogue between house music’s past and its evolving present.
